now i never...

so i'm sure we've heard and got a wee bit sick of this tune and to those hoarders out there it always still kicks remembering you had to shell out about £150+ for it...it's a lesser known fact those pesky sisters covered it from capanni's orig version...i rather enjoy it's laid back rawness...and you could even go and see what he thinks passes for a decent bit of grub....

i wish i could go to blackpool mecca...

17 years waiting...

i thought id tidy up my desk and stumbled upon a copy of blues and soul from 1992 which had some charts in from my old mate hobbsie...i remember at the time pondering how i could get to hear those 'chestnuts' as he put it to decide what to spend my easily earned cash on...but back then it was hard...5 minutes on you tube and hey presto...something to spend another £100 on...thank god i never throw anything away...it surprises me sometimes that the things that were air to me in my 20's are still the things that keep me smiling today...enjoy.

god damn west coast ebay auction finish times...

otherwise i'd be annoying the neighbours with this piece of chugging detroit genius...you can forget sam and dave, this is what soul music is all about...thank god he manged to put gems like this out before his untimely death in February, 1970, after being shot by a policeman in an altercation with his girlfriend...the world's a 'hair's on the back of your neck place' once more...

awe inspiring japanese film wierdness

i'm a film novice...my music obsession doesn't filter into celluloid, so when i cite my favourite films as the airplane and the woman in red and grand canyon im not really pushing the boat out to be sure...but sometimes i come across things that blind me with their risk taking, this amazing piece of cinema (apparently a muse for Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange) relects the feeling of revolution in the behavior of japan's youth at that time...see some of it here...i'll tell you what i thought when i've watched it a couple of times...

oh...and that soundtrack.!!...makes me want to go listen to

this shit more...
